You may know by now, from other articles that I have written, that Carl Simonton was trained by Jose Silva. But did you know that Jose Silva was trained by Father Eli?

The 5 Rules of Mind-Body Healing

William Braud outlined five major mental techniques that he believed have important effects on the self-healing processes.

They include:

The need for relaxation and quietude.

Learning to focus your attention on one thing (e.g. breathing), which allows you to develop mental self-control and avoid distractions. (The above two points are achieved through meditation).

Learning visualization or imagery techniques since pictures are the preferred language of the mind.

Incorporating intent into the process, a wish for some goal to be reached and an expectation that it will.

The evocations of strong positive emotions during the healing process.
